My 87-year-old dad all set for the day. Peach and I picked up my dad, his wife, and my sister, and then we traveled about a hundred miles
to where Peach's sister and her husband ranch. We had dinner and a good visit, and then climbed to the top of Hackberry Hill
on the south side of the North Loup River for a look out across the surrounding countryside.
Spectacular Easter dinner

It worked. Peach's sister is kneeling in the front row on the left. Her husband is the other fellow with a black hat,
and his parents are right in front of me. Peach's mother is third from the left.

No guardrails at this tourist attraction
I am procrastinating doing the long hard climb.
Through the briars and the brambles where a rabbit wouldn't go :wink:
Purt' near there

Peach's nephew proposed to his bride on this very hill, four years ago at Easter time.

Happy couple
We had a fun and enjoyable day. Quite a few attended a nearby church service in the evening.
